I have completed Black Belt training with GE and passed the GE test. GE had internal company definitions and requirements to call yourself a “Black Belt” within the company. I did not serve the “1.5 years” in a Black Belt “position” to get “GE” Black Belt “Certification”, however, I did perform Black Belt level work.
I was wondering if someone could provide a broader industry accepted standard set of experience and/or credentials which allow someone to hold the title of Black Belt.
I have had many people ask me if I am a Black Belt and I am not sure what to tell them.
Thank you.0March 10, 2007 at 12:19 am #153019FF..
The usual expectation is…pass a test, at least two projects (usually worth 250k or above), and a brief out to a quality committe of some sort. You usually would be awarded a certificate as well saying you passed all the requirements. Lastly, you need to be good looking and be able to run two miles under 8 minutes.

0March 10, 2007 at 7:10 am #153025I am a certified BB in an american MNC and we have been running Six Sigma in the organisation for the last 8+ years. When someone says he or she is a Black Belt it implies the following:
1.the person would have completed 2 BB projects – which are projects having medium to high level of complictions;
2.The project would have generated $250K benefit in each project – although this may not be a mandatory requirement – as many service functions may not have any dollar impact and but just process improvements;
3.The person must have applied Six Sigma tools in the project;
4. Would have been on the BB role for at least 2 years
5.Formally certified by the employing organisation or any other body.
Hope this helps

AllthingsidiotParticipant@AllthingsidiotInclude @Allthingsidiot in your post and this person will
be notified via email.I believe in the gradual learning & training procedure.Starting from GB Level,through the Lean-SS to the BB Training,and finally to pass the Test.Some people are jumping directly to the Exam.and pass the test and they call themselves BBs?What is the difference between CBB and the TBB?Some Universities are offering the training through 16 weeks,some through 2 weeks or one week??
A great confusion?Thanks for the enlightenment?0 -
